The Road Called Straight (1919)

Al Boyd, a wealthy cattle rancher, falls in love with Betty Swiftmore, the sophisticated daughter of an Eastern meat packing tycoon. However, Betty loves fellow socialite Harrison Stevens and dismisses Al's marriage proposal, until a lawsuit threatens to bankrupt her family. She consents to marry Al, but his awkwardness among her society friends and his inability to dress appropriately cause Betty to remain cold throughout their honeymoon. After maligning Al's character, Harrison convinces Betty to travel with him to a cottage in the mountains, falsely assuring her that his mother and sister will act as chaperons. Al follows, part of the way on an iceboat, and arrives in time to stop Harrison's assault on Betty. Her coldness toward Al soon melts away, and she acquiesces to his request that they "travel the straight road together."
